Hello & Mabuhay!
My name is Noelle Falcis Math, and I am an Associate Literary Agent with the Transatlantic Literary Agency.
I’ve garnered a breadth of experience as both a writer and editor before transitioning into agenting. I hold a BA and MFA in English and Creative Writing, and I have received fellowships and/or residencies from VONA (Voices of Our Nations), Tinhouse, The Seventh Wave, and Lemontree House. At VONA, I realized the lack of knowledge accessible to marginalized writers, which fueled my interest in publishing. In 2021, I completed the Los Angeles Review of Books’ Publishing Workshop and the Transatlantic Agency’s BIPOC mentorship program. In 2023, I transitioned into an Associate Literary Agent where I am now building my list. For 2024-2025, I have been selected as one of the AALA’s Literary Agents of Change mentorship program.
I try to decode the publishing industry by providing my experiences as a publishing professional and aspiring writer myself. I am also always looking for new clients to take on!
